The Dream 2947
A very early (4-20am) visit to the former Sutton Manor Colliery in St Helens, which closed in 1991. In 2001 it was transformed into a 230 acre community woodland and wildlife haven. Over 2 million trees were planted. In 2009 Jaume Plensa's 100 foot 'Dream' sculpture was opened as a lasting memory of the site's former use. It represents a girl with closed eyes, an emblem of hope for the future.
